Collection Description:
This collection consists of original maps detailing locations of Indigenous nations in North America and military positions in areas such as Sand Creek and the Arkansas River. It includes correspondence between George Bent, a Cheyenne-American interpreter, George Hyde, a white historian, and George Grinnell, a white anthropologist while covering the years 1905-1918. In the interest of preserving and presenting the historical records, the University Libraries collects materials that document the perspectives presented by the creators. As a result, this collection contains objectionable depictions and language that do not reflect the current preferred terminology, or the values and norms of the University Libraries. CU Boulder Libraries acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. While the University of Colorado Boulder can never undo or rectify the devastation wrought on Indigenous peoples, we commit to improving and enhancing engagement with Indigenous peoples and issues locally and globally.

[Cataloger's note: Transcriptions come from George Hyde's and George Grinnell's notes as documented by Jean Afton.] On this map, I marked Colonel Mitchell's camps and sent it to Bent to get him to mark the Indigenous camp at the time of Mitchell's march. Bent seemed uncertain and did not mark the camp but told me they were on Cherry Creek. However, he seemed unsure of Cherry Creek's exact location. I think it was on the South Fork of the Republican River, where he usually marks it, but the Indigenous people had likely left that camp and moved north to White Butte Creek. This is why Mitchell's cavalry failed to find the hostile camp. Bent said they were on Cherry Creek when they burned Julesburg and moved north to White Butte Creek a few days later. Mitchell left the Platte after the burning of Julesburg, making it probable that the Indigenous people were on White Butte Creek when he scoured the Republican for them. Bent marked Bitter Lake Creek on Medicine Lake Creek on this map. I think this is where the Cheyenne fight with Sumner occurred in 1857, but that was a place of the same name on the Solomon. He also marks where the Delawares were killed in 1844 and names Sappa and Beaver Creeks. This is very important. Write to Bent again. This does not clear it up, as he marks Cherry Creek, where the big camp was, in a different place on another map. On that map, he marks it as a small northern tributary of the South Republican. That location would explain why Mitchell missed the Indigenous people, but it would also mean the march from the camp to Julesburg was about 100 miles. (Doesn't Bent say that the march took two days?) If Cherry Creek was where he marks it on this map, how did Mitchell miss the camp on that creek? But Bent says his scouts found significant signs of recent Indigenous camps, doesn't he? Could Bent be right, and the Indigenous camp was where he marked it on this map, and could they have left for a northern march just before Mitchell arrived? Compare dates, distances, etc., and write to Bent again.
